Somebody did a good job with that render. Looks great!

I have no idea if cars will be powered by hydrogen in any significant way in the future, but there are still a handful of manufacturers researching it.

My problem is each team gets more than IMSA uses as an operational budget as a series, IMSA isn't paying the teams anything of the budget TV pays them but rather charges them to play. More teams is spreads the costs vs takes away from their pie.

Not saying he's wrong at all, he's not, but you can get why some of them respond that way.

In many of the things he says he’s spot on, I agree, but who’s to say the F1 way is the wrong way! I certainly don’t. Just a different way.

I wouldn’t use this to big up the virtues of sportscar racing. The teams in it would say the same thing if the sport actually directly gave them any money and this would reduce their slice of the pie. When push comes to shove they’d be the same selfish so and sos they just aren’t in a situation with that temptation.

Long may sportscar be no where near as successful (in those metrics) as F1 then. That also means us sportscar fans can remain alternative and superior.

Kudos to our friends at Endurance Info who beat DSC to the punch on this one, but ART Grand Prix looks set to return to endurance racing in 2024. The French team is set to request a two-car LMP2 entry for the European Le Mans Series.

The move from the current FIA Formula 2 Championship-leading team looks set to be the first step for the team towards a potential bid for a near future Hypercar programme.

ART was last involved in LMP racing back in 2018/ 2019 as the service provider for SMP Racing’s LMP1 efforts, with a two-car BR Engineering BR1 effort in the FIA WEC.

Is it me or does look like teams are choosing a color scheme similar to WTR/Andretti racing?

Cyril Abiteboul is the new motorsport president of Hyundai.

Maybe I'm generalizing but him being French there must be some love for Le Mans. Hopefully this brings the Korean manufacturer to Le Mans/WEC/IMSA.

Hyundai certainly have a substantial base going in IMSA with their defacto factory effort in IMSA's TCR class atleast. Hopefully all the stars align to result in something bigger in the future. Though, it looks like they are really content with their existing hatchback and 4 door sedan philosophy.

There's been a few rumbles of potentially a return to a coupe with the Genesis line but that may have been the SUV "sports coupe" model that was recently announced. I would expect any GT to be a Genesis base rather than a Hyundai badge

Not to mention, there's still the Hydrogen-powered prototype racer that they haven't given up on. Looking to compete with Toyota and BMW in that particular area.

But if Cyril is looking to take them into Hypercar/GTP, then using the Genesis name would make for a better manufacturer.

I assume it's based on the Dallara LMP2.

So the Gibson V8 is targeted to run at 800 hp in this "track only hypercar" while it couldn't do 700 hp in the Vanwall chassis. Ok Collin, sure your chassis was good

Yeah, there's little to no chance that the 777's engine will run as hard for as long as the Vanwall did.

That doesn't necessarily mean that the chassis was decent; the Gibson V8 ran pretty much flawlessly at 600+hp in LMP2, so it may be a mix of both ... you can decide how much "blame" goes each way.

Heavier car, nearly 100 more hp, different mounting etc. Kolles needs an engine that is made for his car or a car made for or to accommodate the engine. The plug and play doesn't work as well as it sounds I assume.

Yeah, and Hypercars are fuel flow limited. Air/Fuel Ratio is not entierly free and so is the power curve.

Are there defined limits to this, or is it they define and govern the power delivered to the wheels and the energy used in a stint?
